Questions about Actions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For example, I want create one action to move the content of torrent to one 
folder, but I want that this torrent remains active and sharing.
How can I do this with Actions?

Sorry, you'll have to be a bit more specific. Do you want to move it from one 
folder to another on the server (guess not, as move does that), copy it to your 
local machine and then delete it afterwards, or something else?

I want move the content of one torrent to another folder (in remote server) and 
that Transmission continues to serve it.

You can do this with the move feature.

Right click on a torrent -> move, or the torrent menu -> move, then select a 
folder or type one.

• Changed state: Invalid
• Added labels: Type-Other
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

I know that, but it's more comfortable to me to create this action. 
The destination folder is always the same. 
Can I do this with Actions?
What is the syntax of these actions?

Ah, ok, now I see.

You can call transmission-remote (the command line client) to do this. 
Something like this (untested):

transmission-remote %{hostname}:%{port} --move /new/path -t %{id} -n 
%{username}:%{password}

Was curious so I tested it, seems the arguments need to be in a different 
order. This works:

transmission-remote %{hostname}:%{port} -n %{username}:%{password} -t %{id} 
--move /home/ajf88/test

Yes, it works, thanks.
Is there any documentation about this?

Can I use the labels in this command? And the default download folder? How?

Neither could be used. Allowing the use of session variables was a trivial 
change, so I just made it.

https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/extras/rpc-spec.txt

So you can use %{download-dir} for session, %{downloadDir} for torrent. A bit 
confusing. Labels would be more problematic, due to the way labels are stored 
and the way the remote exec command builder just pulls variables out of JSON 
objects.

%{download-dir} would be the default remote download dir, no? And 
%{downloadDir} the download dir for an determined torrent?
In my case I want move the torrent to a folder named "borrar" inside of default 
download dir:
transmission-remote %{hostname}:%{port} -n %{username}:%{password} -t %{id} 
--move %{download-dir}/borrar
Is this example correct?

I have tested now with %{download-dir}/borrar and it works.
Thanks.

Great. Regarding documentation, I did document this feature in the wiki around 
the time 0.7 was released.

http://code.google.com/p/transmission-remote-gtk/wiki/ExecuteCommand

I've just added the transmission-remote --move command as an example.
